SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

On 06/19/2026 at approximately 1032 hours, the Vermont State Police received a report of a bomb threat at the Weidmann Electrical Technology facility in St. Johnsbury.  Personnel from Weidmann discovered the threat scrawled in a bathroom stall and called police at about 1032 hours. St Johnsbury Fire Department and Calex Ambulance were also notified and placed on standby.

 

The facility was evacuated out of an abundance of caution, and police initiated a search of all the buildings. Police have since finished their search following the threat, and nothing out of the ordinary was located.  Crews have cleared the scene, and the business will reopen.

 

This is a fourth similar event in recent months, and state police is investigating whether all the incidents are related. This investigation remains active and ongoing, and no further details are available at this time. The state police encourages anyone with information to call the St. Johnsbury Barracks at 802-748-3111 or leave an anonymous tip online at https://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

 

VSP will provide updates as the investigation proceeds.
